L'art commence où finit la vie, Musée Cantini, Marseille, July 11-September 18, 1987 (with the label on the back of the frame)

Fondation Le Corbusier, Paris (inv. no. 423). Galerie Michael Haas, Berlin (with a label on the back of the frame). Private collection, Berlin (acquired from the above in 1989)

Rare bicolor composition in good condition, considering the context in which Soutter’s drawings were created in his small room at the Ballaigues home. Slightly browned. Horizontal and vertical folding marks in the centre due to folded storage, with isolated, minimal color loss. With slight creases, dents, and rubbing marks and storage-related spots. Sheet edges with isolated, expertly repaired small tears. One professionally repaired tear from the top along the center fold extending approx. 10 cm into the image, but only slightly visible due to the dynamic image on the recto and hardly detracting from the harmonious overall impression.
